Expose ResourceDelegates in OWA Settings > Calendar > Resource Scheduling
Expose ResourceDelegates in OWA Settings > Calendar > Resource Scheduling · Community
I'm posting this here in hopes of getting votes over at the feedback site.
What I'm after as a solution is this:
1.) Room "Owners" be granted FullAccess (ideally with AutoMapping disabled).
2.) Room "Owners" open room mailboxes in OWA and manage both Calendar permissions, and Resource Scheduling options (a.k.a., Booking Options), entirely themselves.
3.) Admins are relieved of the burden of having to do all this work for Room "Owners" because some of the settings are hiding in PowerShell only.
We're almost there in EXO's OWA options > Calendar > Resource Scheduling. We're just missing ResourceDelegates:
I suppose additional checkboxes could also be added to cover off all the other settings available in Get-/Set-CalendarProcessing, but for me ResourceDelegates is the most vitally important one. In large orgs, the ability to truly hand off responsibility of these settings to a room owner will be a huge administrative overhead relief.

1. Using the Exchange Administrator Center: Log in to the Exchange Administrator Center
Navigate to Resources > Meeting Rooms and Equipment.
Select the resource you want to manage and click Edit.
In the Delegation tab, add or remove resource delegations.
2. Configure resource delegation using PowerShell:
Open Exchange Management Shell
Add a resource delegation with the following command: powershell
Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity “RoomName” -ResourceDelegates “DelegateEmail”
Use the following command to view the current resource delegation:
powershell
Get-CalendarProcessing -Identity “RoomName” | Select-Object ResourceDelegates
Check OWA settings:
3. Log in to OWA
Navigate to Calendar > Sharing and Permissions.
Check the permissions settings for the resource calendar to ensure that the delegated user has the appropriate permissions.
4. Contact your Exchange administrator:
If you are unable to configure resource delegation directly in OWA, contact an Exchange administrator to confirm if this feature can be enabled via policy or configuration.
5. Use the Outlook desktop client:
If OWA does not support resource delegation configuration, you can try using the Outlook desktop client:
6. Open Outlook and navigate to Calendar.
Right-click on the Resource Calendar and select Properties > Permissions.
Add or remove delegated users.Those are OK suggestions, however #1 and #2 are for admins. The solution I'm after is trying to let us delegate control over the "Resource Scheduling" settings that are exposed in OWA, to regular users who we refer to as "owners" of rooms. #3, and #6 are giving out calendar folder permissions but that's not what I'm after either. I'm after exposing the settings from your #2, but in the "resource scheduling" section of OWA > Settings > Calendar > Resource Scheduling. They've already exposed many of the settings there which you can administratively control via Set-CalendarProcessing. But they've yet to expose the ResourceDelegates over in the OWA settings UI. That's what I'm trying to suggest/request here.
